hy-snipey and not the type of robust male piss-taking such as the norm for this thread. It was quite obvious to anyone reading that no-one could be so overtly negative about a pair of plain black shoes and there must have been something else going on there. I would have accepted "those are a bit boring" as fair comment however.
Forgive my ignorance. I do not avidly follow this thread so do not know what you are referring to - thanks for the update though. hy-snipey and not the type of robust male piss-taking such as the norm for this thread.

I was merely recalling the "What shoes shall I wear to my wedding" thread that went down so well.

k all the tedious purists. I'm thoroughly glad I didn't listen to single word from anyone who you may be referring to. Nothing but good comments were received on the day, from people that mattered, and they were plentiful. Not that I'm saying any of this because I think you'll care how it went. I'd forgotten I'd posted that thread to be honest. It's weird of you to remember it. Blown2CV said:

It is nice that you are pleased with your choices as I am sure every other contributor to this thread is with theirs.
I do not however, feel the necessity to take the piss out of other people's purchases unlike others on this thread. Surely if somebody doesn't like something they just ignore it? I know I certainly wouldn't walk up to a complete stranger and start ridiculing their possessions.

This talk of shoes inspired me to 'bull' a pair of work shoes. It is quite satisfying to spend some time getting a mirror finish with just a tin of Kiwi, a cloth and a bit of water.

Do you find that the finish is durable or does it crack?Shoe brushes = hateful tools of the devil.
This might be the wrong place to ask, sorry if it is!
A family member has recently had some medical issues that have resulted in him having issues with his feet (sensative, sore, painful when walking)
Could anybody recommend an pair of shoes that are extremely comfortable, my first thoughts were geox as they offer different styles. But there may be other/better alternatives.
Style wise, not trainers or brogues, something smart casual? Price isn't really an issue!
Thanks in advance!

Here are a couple of makers. There is another one like Steptronic whose name escapes me, but they are basically shoes that look fashionable but whose primary aim is to be comfortable.A family member has recently had some medical issues that have resulted in him having issues with his feet (sensative, sore, painful when walking)

I highly recomend Anatomic Gel Co. By far the most comfortable shoes I own.A family member has recently had some medical issues that have resulted in him having issues with his feet (sensative, sore, painful when walking)

They have an excellent returns policy too so you cant go wrong.
My only gripe with them is that they only do full sizes any my perfect fit tends to be a half size. The extra room actually adds to the comfort but I prefer a nice close fit in my formal shoes.

Which of the Saphir products is the right one to keep leather shoes conditioned and supple please?
I have a few of pairs of Sweeney's which I've always polished with the medaille d'or wax but I'm guessing it may be worth using something on them just to keep the leather in good condition vs. just being shiny?

They look amazingly nice tbh, and if I were in a position to spend that much on shoes I'd have no hesitation in doing so.
Only thing is I'd be sobbing the first scuff or nick in them.
Just try parking your £xx K pride and joy in Tescos car park..... even right over in the dark corner of a Mahoosive car park! Utter They look amazingly nice tbh, and if I were in a position to spend that much on shoes I'd have no hesitation in doing so.

Anatomic, those are the ones I was thinking of. A similar ilk to Steptronic.http://www.anatomicshoes.com/

New black work shoes. I have had a pair from Charles Tyrwhitt before, so comfortable I bought a casual pair in brown.
I like the look of those CT shoes - was it you that bought those wholecuts too?Do you know if these new ones are from their premium range? I noticed in their catalogues that they have a premuim range (made in UK) and a mid-range set made in spain or somewhere. Any idea who made these?
